Abstract: We study the problem of signal recovery for group models. More precisely for a given set of groups, each containing a small subset of indices, and for given linear sketches of the true signal vector which is known to be group-sparse in the sense that its support is contained in the union of a small number of these groups, we study algorithms which successfully recover the true signal just by the knowledge of its linear sketches. We consider two versions of the classical Iterative Hard Thresholding algorithm (IHT). The classical version iteratively calculates the exact projection of a vector onto the group model, while the approximate version (AM-IHT) uses a head- and a tail-approximation iteratively. We apply both variants to group models and analyse the two cases where the sensing matrix is a Gaussian matrix and a model expander matrix.

To solve the exact projection problem on the group model, which is known to be equivalent to the maximum weight coverage problem, we use discrete optimization methods based on dynamic programming and Benders' Decomposition. The head- and tail-approximations are derived by a classical greedy-method and LP-rounding, respectively.

Discrete Optimization Talks

Series comments: DOTs are virtual discrete optimization talks, organized by Aleksandr M. Kazachkov and Elias B. Khalil. To receive updates about upcoming DOTs, please join our mailing list. Topics of interest include theoretical, computational, and applied aspects of integer and combinatorial optimization.

The format is two thirty-minute talks and time for questions. Currently (January-April 2021), the seminars are scheduled on end-of-the-month Fridays at 1:00 p.m. ET. A special feature of DOTs is a social component. After a usual talk, you might grab a tea/coffee and chat with other attendees. Why not here too? Join us for some informal discussion after each DOT and throughout the week on our Discord channel.
